Yellow

'I really just want to be warm yellow light that pours over everyone I love' Conor Oberst

Yellow, so bright and cheerful.
The canary, with wings so beautiful.
Yellow like the sun.
Shiny like the gold medal I won.
Yellow, the color of the Christmas star,
Or the color of the mustard jar.
Yellow, like the dancing sunflower,
Or the lemon that tastes so sour.
The yellow banana on my breakfast plate,
And the corn on the cob that I ate.
Yellow, like the butterfly in the air,
Or my favorite stuffed Care Bear.
The yellow ribbon wrapped around the tree,
In hopes that my dad will come home to me.
The color of the bus I ride to school,
And the toy that floats in our pool.
I love the color yellow,
Because it helps me stay mellow.
